Daniel Gunn, BACP

BACP. 9 years of experience. Daniel Gunn works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, parenting and intimacy-related concerns. He uses approaches named in his training, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, client-centred methods and emotionally-focused work.

Daniel trained in psychology and counselling, with a BSc in psychology from the Open University and a diploma in therapeutic counselling from CPCAB. He has worked in agency settings and private practice, and has supervised and facilitated groups. He speaks English and German and sees clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

His practice focuses on understanding how past experiences affect present-day reactions. He aims to help people manage symptoms such as anxiety, depression, anger or dissociation while addressing relational and attachment patterns. He describes using both body-focused and talking methods and teaches self-regulation techniques early in work together.

Assessment sessions are used to check fit and set practical goals. Daniel says he combines top-down and bottom-up approaches - working with thoughts and feelings - and will introduce trauma-focused interventions when appropriate. He also notes an interest in cultural and spiritual aspects of experience brought by clients.

Sessions follow a collaborative model where the client and counsellor agree next steps. Daniel emphasises practical skills for coping alongside deeper therapeutic work, aiming to reduce distress and help people test changes in everyday life.
